Welcome to VegUtopia

(A smallholder’s) “Odyssey” – a long series of wanderings or adventures, filled with notable experiences, hardships, etc.

VegUtopia is a blog about self-reliance, a diary of sorts, chronicling the ups and downs of self-sufficiency and the creation of an edible green space.

We have a plant-based ethos to our small-holding, ‘Mum’ is vegan and the rest of the family eat vegetarian most of the time. We use an organic approach wherever possible and will never use pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertiliser and will often utilise the permaculture methodology in our planning, design and implementation.

We hope this diary will inspire others to realise self-sufficiency and self-reliance…
